LAB 1 NOISE STUDY

Apparatus

a) Noise Level Meter

b) Stop watch

Objective

1. To measure the level of noise at the selected study locations.


2. To analyse data and interpret the results of the noise level experiment.

Procedures

1. The desired location to conduct the noise study was selected.


2. The Noise Level Meter was switch on and the desired Response Time (Fast or Slow)
and Frequency Weighting (A for indoor or C for outdoor) was selected.
3. The desired range at a chosen location has been determined.
4. The Noise Level Meter had been handed carefully by positioning it using the tripod or
in hand and pointed the microphone toward the noise sources. Then, the pressure level
will be displayed on the meter’s LCD display and the data were recorded in the
datasheet.
5. To get the maximum pressure level, the MAX (Maximum hold) mode key has been
pressing for a few second to allow the instrument to capture the highest noise level
and hold the noise level reading on the display. Then, the MAX key was pressing
again to clear the MAX reading.
6. The sample was taken for 40 minutes using table and analyzed the data to determine the
estimated L10 value.
7. The instrument was turned off and the battery was removed when not in use.
LAB 2 NITRITE & NITRATE
LAB 3 VOLATILE SUSPENDED SOLID (VSS)
LAB 4 AIR PARTICLES
LAB 5 JAR TEST
LAB 6 BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD)
LAB 6 CHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (COD)

Introduction:

The chemical oxygen demand (COD) is the amount of oxygen consumed to


completely chemical oxidize the organic water constituents to inorganic end products. In
other words, COD is an indicative measure of the amount of oxygen that can be consumed by
reactions in a measured solution especially in water and wastewater treatment plant. COD is
used as a measurement of pollutants in natural and wastewaters to assess the strength of
discharge waste such as sewage and industrial effluent waters. Normally, it has been
measured in both municipal and industrial treatment plants and indicates the efficiency of the
treatment process. COD test only required 2-3 hours to conduct. Its measures all organic
contaminants, including those that are not biodegradable. COD also can be used to determine
biochemical oxygen demand as a strong correlation exists between COD and BOD, however,
COD is a much faster and more accurate test.

Objectives:

1. To measure the concentration of COD in the water sample.


2. To analyze data and interpret the results of the COD experiment.

Apparatus:

1. COD Reactor
2. Distilled water and water sample
3. Pipet
4. COD Digestion Reagent Vial
5. DR 2800 Spectrophotometer

Procedures:

1. The power reactor was power on and has been preheated to 150 °C.
2. For BLANK sample: The vial cap was removed for the selected range. Then, the vial
was held at an angle of 45 degrees. The clean pipet was used, and 2.00 mL of sample
was added to the vial.
3. Next, the vial was closed tightly and has been shacked for several time to mix it.
During the mixing, the vial was so hot. Make sure to handle it very carefully and
follow all the precaution.
4. For SAMPLE: The cap from the second vial was removed. Then, the vial was held at
an angle of 45 degrees. The clean pipet was used, and 2.00 mL of sample was added
to the vial.
5. Next, the vial was closed tightly and has been shacked for several time to mix the
sample. The vial was very hot during the mixing.
6. Both of Blank Sample and the Water Sample have been Labelled.
7. The vial was put in the preheated reactor and then, the lid was closed.
8. The start button was pressed, and the vials have been heated for 2 hours.
9. After 2 hours, the vials were put in the tube rack and the vials have been there to cool
at room temperature.
10. Then, the program in the DR 2800 spectrophotometer has been selected to 430 COD
LR.
11. The blank sample cell has been cleaned by using the tissue.
12. The blank sample was inserted into the cell holder.
13. Then, zero was pressed.
14. The 0.0 mg/L COD has shown.
15. The prepared sample cell has been cleaned by tissue.
16. The prepared sample cell has been inserted into the cell holder.
17. Next, the read was pressed on the screen and the result was shown in mg/L COD.
18. The data was recorded in the datasheet.
19. The experiment was repeated from step 1 to step 18 for the other water sample.
